Does your LCD monitor have both the DVI and analog connection? Two years ago I had an LCD monitor on an analog vga card and never saw anything like that. However, I've read that LCD monitors connected via analog can experience loss of signal, distortion, and corruption (from digital to analog conversion). Perhaps that is what you are seeing? I would indeed test the LCD monitor by connecting it via DVI and see if you experience the same distortion. Testing it by connecting it to another digital card with a dvi connection and then via the analog to that other card as well would be best (in case it is your card).

>I'm using a Samsung SyncMaster 225BW LCD Monitor connected to an analog VGA card. I'm running it at its native 1680x1050 resolution. The VGA card readily supports this resolution and 32 bit colour, but it is more than 5 years old.
